So, I'm 5th in the hopper, but I've got a good reason for posting this now. I've got two legit set-ups this time around. One is basically a slightly-modified version of One Night Ultimate Werewolf, which I've played many times IRL, and the other is a set-up I ran in Hangouts several times with great success.

So, this thread serves two purposes:1. To gauge interest. VOTING IS NOT A COMMITMENT TO PLAY.2. To have a vote on which set-up you'd rather play.As well, if any of you want to loudly complain about the balance, this is still the phase where I can do something about it, so I don't mind.

VotesOne Night1.2.3.4.etc.

Role Swap1.2.3.4.etc.

Should I not get enough interest, I'll just run another bastard game.

about when would this game actually start? If it's after school starts, I'll play when it comes around :D

Depends on how long everyone else takes with sign-ups. If there hasn't been two sign-ups posted in 48 hours, I'll go ahead with sign-ups in the near future. Otherwise, it'll be about a month.

"We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form...the shape of happiness might resemble glass...even though you don't usually notice it, it's still definitely there. You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else could argue its own existence more eloquently." ~Lelouch

Vaarka swung his sword at the mod. However, since I am now incorporeal, he ends up accidentally striking the entire American landmass (It's a REALLY bastard sword), destroying both continents. Spiders are now at 50% of capacity."

You're really going to maf block me? I've been waiting in the hopper for months now and I'm ready to start my sign ups.

This isn't a sign up thread. See the OP.

It's a semi-open, so I'll hear public ideas. https://docs.google.com...I applied some changes to the Google doc today. I switched in some more traditionally affiliation neutral roles to make balancing for more players easier, and clarified the order of night actions. It'll be a smaller game, but that's easier to read, less likely to swing, and I won't have to work with replacements as much. Still, I'd like to try making games up to 15 players possible. Thoughts?

Having 15 players would be cool. Swing is fine but there's gotta be a realistic chance to win despite it becoming more difficult. Games aren't fun if a decision on N1 ends the game for either side.

I don't have the time to look at the setup for balance at the moment, but I'd recommend getting some feedback from others, too. Maybe F-16 will offer some feedback. Definitely ask Saph, too. The more people looking at the setup, the better.

I liked the mechanics a lot in live mafia but in forum mafia, the standard for balance should be much higher, because it's a much larger investment of time and effort. At least that's how I feel about it. I want to know that I have equal chances of winning as the other team.

If you'd like a vote on your debate, please send me a link. I'll do my best to offer a sufficient RFD in your favor.

Also: If you'd like to vote bomb a debate and need help crafting a sufficient RFD, let me know.
